"Cane, thank you.... thank you for bringing them back..." Iris hugged Cane very tightly. "This is even greater than any fruit." Iris would choose this surprised anytime over a mere fruit. "Thank you so much for taking them to the safety."
Cane realized, he tended to find a way to fulfill her wishes, even though he told her that he wouldn’t do it. But, here he was, feeling relief to see how happy his mate was.
This was not the first time he did it. He postponed their journey to the Diandem pack for her as well before and now this.
He knew this was not right and he needed to stop himself, because this kind of habit could bite him back in the ass at some point, yet what upset him the most was; he didn’t feel guilty at all for breaking his own words.
"Thank you, Cane... thank you."
"I need to thank you too, Iris." He kissed the top of her head.
==============================
Kellan felt this bad feeling when Dexter pushed his wheelchair toward Alan’s bedroom. There were a lot of questions in his mind and he didn’t know whether he could find the answer of it or not. His heart was thumping wildly in his chest.
But, he kept his composure and tried to calm himself down.
"The king is inside?" Kellan asked. He didn’t want to be rude with Alan when he was well aware that his life was in his hand.
But, Dexter didn’t say anything and opened the door, before he pushed him inside.
Once he was inside, Kellan knew he wouldn’t be able to escape whatever things he would face there, but then the moment Celestial Moon pack fell from it grace and alpha Derick pledged his loyalty to Alan, there was no safe place for him. He was as good as dead.
Dexter pushed his wheelchair into the middle of the king’s bedroom. This was the same room that his father had occupied when he was still alive.
With his back was facing him, there was this teenage boy around the age of fifteen to seventeen. He was lean and tall, but sure enough this was not Alan.
"My lord, he is here." Dexter’s voice became very polite when he greeted this teenager.
"You can leave, Dexter." He waved his hand to dismiss Dexter and he obliged, leaving Kellan alone with this mysterious young man. "Prince Kellan, isn’t it?" He finally turned around and looked at Kellan carefully with a smirk on the corner of his lips.
Kellan was shocked to see his face. There was no way it was real...
Alan and he didn’t really close growing up, but of course, he had seen and recognized Alan when he was teenager and this young man was the duplicate of him when Alan was around his age.
It was impossible!
"Who are you?" Kellan’s brows creased, he met with his red eyes when he approached him.
"Am I startling you?" He stopped right in front of Kellan and stretched out his hand. "My name is Decratic."
Kellan tried to avoid his hand, but his body was very stiff, as if he was rooted in his place without being able to move a muscle.
"Relax..." Decratic said in his hoarse and eerie voice, as he touched Kellan’s forehead.
Right at that moment, Kellan’s memories were exploded in his mind like a firework, a lot of memories came to the surface, very face, as if you were riding a horse and watched how the scenery passed you in such high speed.
He remembered everything, even the thing that he had forgotten, but most importantly when he was with little Iris.
The memories of her was repeated several times, as if this young man named Decratic wanted to see it over and over again, this was his favorite.
It started with that little auburn girl hid from him and was very shy to even talk to him, to where she felt comfortable, where she would give him a hug innocently, little Iris loved to be hugged and gave hug to anyone she liked and at that time, she liked Kellan a lot, since he wanted to play with her.
But then, her smiling face would appear seldomly, most of the time, her blue eyes filled with fear and tears, to the point where little Iris would scratch her palms when Kellan visited her bedroom, leaving the two of them alone.
’I don’t want to play. I don’t want to play again. I want to stop please...’
Her tiny’s voice echoed in Decratic and Kellan’s mind, as the two of them had the same images in their head.
And the image ended with Kellan stared at little Iris, who was kneeling down in front of him, while he stared from above, guiding her head against his, as her little mouth wrapped around the part of his body.
"Wh- what was that..." Kellan gasped when the image gradually disappeared and the room came to his sight once again. His body was slightly trembling, couldn’t comprehend what jus transpired, but even more because the image felt so real and it worked him up.
"You were playing with her, huh?" Decratic chuckled, he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Did you like the game?"
"Iris, are you with me?" Cane asked, because his mate kept staring at him when he explained how to hold the baby comfortably. freeweɓnovel.cøm
